“As the new board chairman of AEDF, I am excited about the progress we have made throughout Algiers, a remarkable community that is rich in history, rooted in family, community and tradition. Since my time on the board we have worked hard to set a solid foundation and remain steadfast in our determination to move progressively toward a more sustainable community. Algiers is a unique area of the City of New Orleans with wonderful neighborhoods, outstanding schools and universities and many businesses from Algiers point to the lower coast.

One of my many goals is to continue to make Algiers more assessable business friendly environment to all types of businesses small or large. Our momentum is the result of dedicated volunteers from business, education and community who continue to believe. As we finish out 2016 and enter into 2017, we are optimistic that AEDF in partnership with Algiers Development District (ADD), our elected officials, investors and sponsors we will achieve for all of Algiers”, said Theodore C. Sanders III.
